An egg hunt with a difference is one of a series of Easter-themed activities being held for visitors to Sentosa, Mount Faber and the HarbourFront area over the next month.

A hundred unique, hand-painted giant eggs have been scattered across all three areas, each with a Quick Response code - a type of barcode.

The person who "collects" the most eggs - by scanning them with their smartphones - by May 5 will win $5,000 in cash and a pink sapphire and diamond egg pendant worth over $10,000. If there is a tie, the winner will be decided by a lucky draw.

The "Great Egg-Venture" event is organised by the three-month-old Sentosa HarbourFront Business Association (SHBA), which has 33 members including Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) and HarbourFront Centre.
